Contract Overview

Solicitation details, issuing organization, response deadlines, documents, and interested companies for this government contract opportunity.

AI Contract Overview

NASA Langley Research Center is inviting companies interested in obtaining licensing rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market a patented technology that involves a novel method for depositing metal and metal oxide nanoparticles onto various substrates. This method is notable for being rapid, scalable, and environmentally friendly, as it avoids the use of reducing agents or solvents. The process involves heating a metal salt, typically an acetate, mixed with the substrate either by traditional thermal means or microwave heating, with the latter significantly reducing processing time to mere seconds. The resulting nanoparticles have promising applications in catalysis, including research on catalytic adsorption of mercury from coal-fired power plant emissions. Licenses for this technology can be granted on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may be limited to specific fields of use. Interested parties are requested to express their interest by contacting Sean Sullivan at Research Triangle International, who coordinates responses on behalf of NASA Langley’s Strategic Relationships Office. This solicitation aims to gauge market interest and potential for future licensing opportunities and does not anticipate any direct procurement as a result of responses. Should licensing interest arise, NASA will proceed through their formal licensing process as mandated by federal regulations.

Full Description

NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits interest from companiesinterested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market thefollowing technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basisand may include specific fields of use. THE TECHNOLOGY: NASA Langley has developed a novel method of depositing metal and metal oxidenanoparticles onto various substrates (see ACS Nano, 3(4), 871884 [2009]). It is rapid,scalable, and green since it does not require reducing agents or solvents. The processinvolves first mixing and then heating a metal salt (usually an acetate) with the desiredsubstrate. Heating can be done by conventional thermal or microwave ovens. Conventionalthermal processing takes several hours and requires an inert atmosphere, usuallynitrogen. With microwave heating, the process is complete in a matter of seconds. Themetal or metal oxide nanoparticles have potential use in catalysis. Metal particles oncarbon for catalyzing the adsorption of mercury from the effluent of coal-fired powerplants has been investigated (Energy & Fuels 23, 15121517 [2009]). To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to Sean Sullivan, ResearchTriangle International (RTI), at: NASA Langley Research Center, Strategic RelationshipsOffice (SRSO), 17 West Taylor St., Mail Stop 218, Building 1212, Room 110 Hampton,Virginia, E-mail: contact@example.gov, or phone: +1 (555) 000-0000. Please indicate thedate and title of the FBO notice and include your company and contact information.RTI is responsible for aggregating and acknowledging all responses. These responses areprovided to members of NASA Langleys Innovative Partnerships Office within the SRO forthe purpose of promoting public awareness of our technology products, and conductingpreliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for futurelicensing opportunities. If direct licensing interest results from this posting, SRO willfollow the formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register as required. Nofollow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
